Weekend Musings

Well, 3/4 of the family was out of commission Friday night and all of Saturday with the flu. Thankfully, mellow little C was our 1/4 of health and he didn't mind a day of playing trucks on the floor, watching a bit too much TV and eating Cheerios all the livelong day. In fact, that is pretty much his perfect day

With much amazement, we woke up Sunday feeling much better. And, unbelievably, we GOT THINGS DONE. What???!!! We are a family that NEVER gets things done. Our lists of things to do are a complete joke. They mock us from their magnetized holding place on the fridge.

But, our kids are finally getting to that age when they play together. Without us. Excuse me? I didn't know that was possible. I was told this might happen, but I truly did not believe. Thought our children were not quite capable of that. But with our kiddie-style pimped-out backyard (baby pool, bikes, water table) they ran around while we dominated our list of things to do.

I suppose one day of non-stop naps, tea and toast, the World Cup, and general laziness was just what we needed to force us in to productivity.
